MAKING SILVER SPRING A BETTER PLACE TO AGE IN PLACE

Silver Spring Village, Inc. is a nonprofit, tax-exempt [501(c)(3)] organization that offers needed services and programs for adults who wish to "age in place" -- to remain as long as possible in their own homes, amid familiar people and surroundings, and engaged in the community. Our network of "neighbors helping neighbors" supports individuals and also builds a sense of community. Mirroring the neighborhoods within our service area, Silver Spring Village is a welcoming organization with a diverse membership and volunteer corps.

The many benefits of participation in our Village are available to residents throughout our service area, ZIP code 20910, which includes the commercial core of downtown Silver Spring, MD and the neighborhoods that surround it. We are enrolling members and volunteers NOW, and we will do so on an ongoing basis.

Our Village links members to volunteers who can help with transportation, home maintenance, errands, and ordinary household tasks that have become difficult or unsafe. Our Village-sponsored educational and social activities provide information, stimulation, and fun. In addition, our Village offers referrals to professional services and an array of negotiated discounts with local shops and businesses. Participation by a diverse mix of residents within our defined geographic area enhances the quality of life for the entire community.

If you live in or near downtown Silver Spring, we hope to hear from you soon!

It is our policy to provide equal opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, gender, sexual preference, or disability.

Please call us at (301) 503-7401 or send email to info@silverspringvillage.org if you are ready to get involved, if you have any questions, or if you would like to join our mailing list. Please include your name, street address with ZIP code, phone number, and email in all correspondence.
